Brokeback Mountain premiered at the Venice International Film Festival,[3] where it won the Golden Lion.[4] Focus Features gave the film a limited release on December 9, 2005 before a wide release on January 13, 2006. The film grossed $178 million worldwide on a production budget of $14 million.[5] Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes surveyed 234 reviews and judged 87% of them to be positive.[6]

Brokeback Mountain garnered awards and nominations in a variety of categories, including for its directing, screenplay, acting, original score, and cinematography. At the 78th Academy Awards, Brokeback Mountain was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture and won three awards for Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Original Score. The film garnered seven nominations at the 63rd Golden Globe Awards, winning four for Best Motion Picture – Drama, Best Director, Best Song, and Best Screenplay. At the 59th British Academy Film Awards, Brokeback Mountain was nominated for nine awards, winning in the categories of Best Film, Best Direction, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor for Jake Gyllenhaal. The film also received prizes at various guilds: it won the Producers Guild of America Award for Best Theatrical Motion Picture, the Directors Guild of America Award for Outstanding Directing – Feature Film, and the Writers Guild of America Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. In addition, it garnered four Screen Actors Guild nominations for Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress and Best Cast, more than any other film; however, it did not win any of these awards.

After Brokeback Mountain lost the Academy Award for Best Picture to Crash, many accused the Academy of homophobia and for making a non-groundbreaking choice,[7][8] and commentators including Kenneth Turan and Nikki Finke derided the Academy's decision.[9][10][11] However, Roger Ebert argued that claims of foul play were unjustified and that the better film won.[12]
